@Booberpuppy They don't need to see anything if they have transparency options set for graphics. In terms of connection though that's a completely different story. Although I do know that one of my friends that went on a vacation was pretty close to their headquarters and had little to no lag during 2x. While me in Canada had to suffer an unholy amount of lag that I've never seen in the past decade.
During 1x it is a little less laggy and I start to notice some channels are better for me than some others. One thing is certain, something must have been changed that started all this lag. As if the anti-hack disconnection, bugs, and unstable client wasn't already a problem itself. It's quite a headache to deal with since we players can't just "fix it". We have to rely on the devs and publishers to get things done.
While I'm not optimistic that they'll get down to it, I just really hope they do, eventually.
A Nexon representative responded to this report on July 3rd, 2016 on the old forums but this has yet to be fixed as of today.

We can't recreate threads like these because most if not all the posts are from former players or one time posters which will probably never come back to contribute. Along the fact that the topic is COMPLETELY BANNED. I understand it was due to nostalgia reasons, but even so it had more ideas than the occasional threads.
That's just one thread out of many.
A majority of us forumers did not expect the old forum would actually close. Hints to such were vague because at the point it felt more of an archive of information. What benefit will come from deleting a mass amount of ideas that were already in the graveyard? This just goes to show how "relevant" our comments really are.
In-game, or forums it feels as us the community always gets the short end of the stick and we're always fighting for a better Maple when poor decisions are made by our publisher for reasons we are not disclosed or able to tune into until "the decision is final". The lack of transparency is just so high up there that it frustrates us as a community from ever trying to do anything because it feels as if it results into nothing.
Just look at a majority of the official posts between Nexon employees and the community. There is a disconnect and we don't feel like we're treated as human, we don't feel as if the responses are human. The only one who accomplished that feat was our former Community Manager KThxBaiNao.
I guess I'll do whatever I can to salvage, there's no point in arguing if they won't budge like in most situations.
@Mek The last time we got the Hasty Hunting Event there was a Hidden Weekly Mission that required hunting 88,888 monsters within your level or 44,444 for the first week and 55,555 for the second week.
They didn't fix it the first time it was around, what makes you think they'll have an unscheduled server maintenance to fix it the second time around? We have people who are not able to log-in to their characters (and I'm not affected by this) and obviously they haven't fixed that yet. They will partially miss events of the V Patch instead of frame rate drops or freezes every-time you get a kill with Hasty Hunting active which I am affected by every reset.
I'd give Nexon a round of applause for a royal screw up for advertising and hype through social media just to crash and burn throughout this big update. I'm not surprised at all. It's just a really sad joke.
